Affiliate relationships do not decide the winner.

AlreadyChecked may earn a commission when a user follows certain disclosed links and makes a purchase or starts a subscription. That commercial relationship is kept separate from the recommendation logic.

What does not influence OUR PICK

• Commission percentage or payout amount.
• Whether a product has an affiliate program.
• Whether a merchant pays more than a competitor.
• Sponsorship or referral economics presented as a substitute for product fit.

What does influence the recommendation

The user's requirements, verified product fit, current pricing, official product evidence, independent evidence, meaningful limitations, review/customer sentiment and the quality of the research record determine whether a candidate can qualify and how qualified candidates compare.

Disclosure on public decision pages

When a link is monetized, the commercial relationship should be disclosed clearly where a reasonable user can see it. A monetized link does not change the evidence shown in “How we reached this recommendation.”
